Mabel Choate (d. 1958)--daughter of Joseph Hodges Choate (1832-1917) and the former Caroline D. Sterling (1837-1929); her father was an attorney who served as US ambassador to England; her mother was one of the founders of Barnard College. Mabel Choate was active in the Republican Party, a supporter of the League of Nations, and trustee of Barnard College. Her family house at Namkeag (in Massachusetts) featured a spectacular modern garden designed by Miss Choate and Fletcher Steele. www.thetrustees.org/pages/335_naumkeag.cfm en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Joseph_Hodges_Choate Strangely enough, a character named "Mabel Choate" appeared in several episodes of "Seinfeld," as one of Jerry's parents' neighbors at Del Boca Vista--such an odd name, I suspect it's not a complete coincidence... ?
